PopWrap: Before we get started, I simply have to say that "Thirteen" is one of my favorite movies and Evan Rachel Wood's Oscar snub is one of the most egregious in history.
Catherine Hardwicke: Thank you -- and I agree! [laughs] It is wrong that she didn’t get nominated. That girl was only 14 years old, we gave her one or two takes, is in every scene she’s excellent in every single moment.
I can't agree more! She should be nominated for Best Actress that year. Same disappointment when Andrew Garfield also missed the nomination list this year. But I'm sure there's still another chance for these two talented actors-- no doubt! ;)
